Vaccination compliance rates were calculated for 1995 to 2001 for enrolled patients, based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines and age-appropriate vaccine schedules. The results reported here indicate computerized tracking with the Doctor's Pediatric Immunization Program (Dr. PIP) maintained vaccine compliance rates (>90%) in healthy and immunocompromised children at 2 months and 12 months of age. Instituting the computerized system has yielded nearly optimal results in both indigenous inner-city clinics. Despite the efficient progress made by automated tracking, the results for specific vaccine strategies (Varicella) and target groups (human immunodeficiency virus, high-risk indigent populations) may require ongoing and intensive educational efforts to achieve optimization levels.
